[ad_1] Q: Has President Trump asked for a billion dollars for the ballroom?

[ad_1] The Food and Drug Administration opened an investigation of medical facilities that prescribe “off label” drugs to minors with gender dysphoria. The FDA has not determined if the use of these drugs for these purposes is safe or effective to treat gender dysphoria. The investigation began before the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. In July 2025, the Assistant Attorney General issued a HIPAA subpoena on Rhode Island Hospital (which includes Brown University Health) to determine if patients received misbranded drugs.

[ad_1] After destroying 56 small boats in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific Ocean, the Trump administration’s murderous attacks have become commonplace but remain illegal and evil, says Andrew P. Napolitano. President Donald Trump outside the White House on May 8, 2026. (White House /Patrick B. Ruddy) By Andrew P. Napolitano  “It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.” — Voltaire (1694-1778) Last week, when the Pentagon resumed its attacks on small boats in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific Ocean, the media barely noticed.

[ad_1] People living in the United Kingdom will be spending fewer years in good health as “healthy life expectancy” plummets. The UK is going backward compared to most other “wealthy” countries.

[ad_1] Recently, the SEC announced a “comprehensive review” of its consolidated audit trail, or “CAT,” and asked for public comments due in 60 days, on June 15, 2026, including on whether the commission should “eliminate the CAT in favor of developing a different audit trail and/or data source, . . . ” Every American investor should answer with an emphatic: “Yes!” Here’s why. The SEC’s CAT is an LLC that tracks, collects, and analyzes all securities transactions made by every investor in real time. Its size is unfathomable: SEC collected and stored 116 trillion transactions in 2023 and 154 trillion…

[ad_1] Something strange is happening in Washington. A generation of investors and entrepreneurs who built careers championing private capital and intuitively understood the power of market discipline and limited government have joined the Trump administration, taking charge of hundreds of billions of dollars of other people’s money. They assure us that they are deploying it strategically, with accountability and a businessperson’s rigor. From Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick (who is apparently convinced he can rearrange the American economy through tariffs and industrial policy as if it were a trading desk) to former Commerce official Michael Grimes (who led the IPOs of…

[ad_1] Social media has been blamed for transmitting social contagions, which is ironic because the main social contagion right now is the idea that social media is bad for you. Even people who are happily online 14 hours a day feel the need to apologize, as if they’re admitting to being a heroin addict. The New York Times recently published an op-ed titled, “The Way to Get Kids Off Screens” that entirely dispensed with the “Why should we?” part of the argument. Times readers, not exactly free thinkers, were right on board. From the comments section: “Mom and Dad: get…
